Morning all, this thread, makes for tough reading and am sorry that you have to endure this. The aggressive sexist comments, behaviour of men behind the wheel or walking by, Both my daughters cycle around London and have suffered harassment in recent years.
If you are ever in a situation with a driver of a trade van. I strongly recommend you report them to their MD or CEO.
Or even better if vehicle is contracted to a building site report it to the Principal Contractor as KT_Bee has done. The bigger Construction firms are more inclined to act. This action also from idiots who wolf whistle or behave like morons from building sites. Go find the Site Manager (his number will be on the site entrance notice board) and report them. Let the site manager know that you can reach his boss at HQ.
I work in the building industry if you need help ping me. Even if it brings a site based tool box talk around public engagement. At least the message comes from within.
Site rules generally dictate that this behaviour or harassment is unacceptable, site operatives can even be removed from site indefinitely if they repeat an offence.
It won’t solve all the street level aggro, but I hope this helps.
